The device is very handy, even smaller than the "sisters" CG10, CG9 and expensive equipment, and it is kept in plastic (a bit cheap acts of closure for the SD card). The screen is improved compared to older models and very good. The operation as a whole is simple and well lernbar- the device is also recommended for users who want to film a try. Surely there is no better quality camcorder, the value for money though. The five-fold optical zoom is rather modest, but sufficient for many motives. Good: The photo function, the high resolution photos makes ordinary (with flash). The Sanyo CG21 fits into any jacket pocket and is therefore good for everyday use. A bag is not included, only one lens protection cover is. Unlike the little brother of the CG10 CG21 has a mini - HDMI port so directly, the recording can be seen on digital flat-panel televisions. A definite recommendation!
